Locating starter on 2006 Mazda 3

My car wont start. I replaced the Battery and dont think its the alternator because all the lights on the dash turn on. I turn the key and they engine will not turn over. Some one please help me locate the Starter. I've read that maybe its the power connecter that became erroded or even the starter solenoid. Please advise and thank you for your time.

The starter is located on the FRONT of the engine directly under the intake manifold

The starter is found in between the transmission and the block. If I recall my Mazda's correctly it is located on the side near the firewall. It is mostly cylindrical with wires coming from it.

    to determine if it is the security you should get a light which appears to have a key inside a car or a lock. Basically an indicator on the dashboard should turn on and stay on while starting.

I turned my 2006 pilot off and now it wont start. It dont roll over or nothing. What might it be?

Battery might be dead. Try disconnecting the terminals (ground first) and clean the terminals. If that doesn't help, try jumping.

2006 mazda tribute.The battery has been replaced and the alternator is not putting out quite the correct voltage but isn't really bad yet I don't think. It's will start ok for 4 or 5 days

Your going to need to replace the alternator, it may be charging the battery slightly and enough to get through a few days of starting the vehicle, but you will need to get the alternator replaced.

My buicks battery has just died. When I jumped it it goes to turn over for a second with a click and then dies down, but all the lights come on. How do I know if its the starter alternator or battery

if the lights are bright and you hear a clicking and your heat blows good, the head lights are still real bright after trying to start a few time replace the starter (you can try to hit the starter with a hammer otr somthing heavy a few times and then try to start if it sounds better or starts replace the starter) if the battery goes dead try to jumpit if it starts then dies after a few min its the alt if it starts runs good and you let it run for about half hour shut it off and it wont restart rite away its the battery.
